You… just bought them. They are new. Don’t want them to get messed up. 

@chainsawyers 
            i can get my boots dirty, darling. but if you insist.. 

@chainsawyers 
            but i would love to be in possession of one. [she smiles, giving him a sweet peck on the cheek of his mask,] there. its first stain. 

* He smiles. Just barely. It’s not like it was visible, anyway. He grunts in response. Giving her a quick nod * I will make you one… You do not need it, though. 

@chainsawyers 
            let me see, let me see! [she examines the detail of it: the fresh stitches and lively colour. of course she likes it.] i love it.

If it scares you then I will cut it down. 

@chainsawyers 
            i don’t care about them, i care about you. what are you laughing at? that tree? that tree scares me a bit..

@chainsawyers 
            bubba, no. you’re perfectly fine. i’m just feeling homesick, is all.

About us? I did something wrong…

@chainsawyers 
            hm? no, no. i’m (…) just thinking too much.

@newtides 
            [ she smiles, and nods slightly, ]  does taco night sound okay?

and i love that about you, but i want to see you surfing again. [ a smile, he cocks his head as he looks over to her ] so. any requests? 

@newtides 
            [ millie huffs, stubbornly listening to him and props her chin on her palm, ] i hate this. sorry. i love you, i just hate.. not being able to help.

this would be a lot cooler with a voice ai box, [ he shrugs, ] can’t tell you until you name your favorite. 

@newtides 
            where did you get that from?

i guess there isn’t many options besides a chapel and the park. [  he reasons,  ] i like your itinerary.  and i could always use a beer. 

@newtides 
            the gas station, and then the beach. [ /always two steps ahead/. she gives him an amused smile, ] where else did you expect? (…) if you really want to, we can go to the bar.

@islanddheart 
            soo judgy. [ he murmurs, following her out of the town hall without making too much of a scene ] where to next?

@islanddheart 
            [ when he knew what he was set on, he didn’t waste any time. colton smiles, nodding ] okay.  i’ll think of something, i can pick you up friday? 

@newtides 
            oh. uhm, [ is it possible that he’s made /the/ millie cross stammer? all nervous and clueless? yes, ] uh. you know — usually, people on this island don’t… [ she trails off, before looking up at him and blinks. before she knows it, she nods her head, & speaks up, ]  /yeah/, yes. i’d like that.

@islanddheart 
            what are we doing here, millie? [ he asks earnestly, ] just .. having fun?  i’d love to take you out sometime but i don’t know if that’s your style. 

@newtides 
            okay, that only makes me want to double down on my initial no. 

millie cross – inspiring the surfer girls of tomorrow.  although i have a feeling half the guests would be rich l.a. influencers. 

@newtides 
            [ she laughs, shaking her head, ] /no/, not happening.
